Many of us choose to live in upper Westchester because of the beautiful landscapes, rolling hills, tranquil woodlands and serene neighborhoods. However, it also presents challenges when it comes to tree, shrub and lawn care, including, access to the landscape, accommodating septic systems, woodland management, maintaining scenic views, deer and tick control, as well as the risk of mature trees failing and being a danger to people and property. Almstead has the equipment and technology, as well as trained, certified and experienced arborists and technicians, to handle all the specific issues associated with caring for landscapes in upper Westchester (please see each arborist's qualifications below).
